Tuhi, your storage assistant · When Tuhi doesn't help

Why does Tuhi say "I'm still reading your storage"?

Short answer: Storage Studio hasn't finished its first read of your storage since it started, so Tuhi has no real numbers yet and won't invent them. Wait a moment and ask again; it's normal right after launch.

It means Storage Studio hasn't finished its first read of your Mac's storage since it started, so Tuhi doesn't have real numbers yet — and it won't make any up. Wait a moment and ask again.

This usually only happens just after Storage Studio launches. You may see similar wording for other live facts, such as "I'm still checking your drives" or "I'm still checking macOS's local backups". If it keeps happening long after launch, open More (•••) → Background Activity to see whether something is stuck, or contact support.
